Job Introduction

Bradford Children and Families Trust are looking for Experienced, Innovative and Dedicated Practice Supervisors to drive our services forward and to ensure that our promise to improve the lives of Children and Young People in Bradford becomes a reality.

You will have a passion and drive to ensure children are at the heart of all we do. You will practice within a relational and restorative culture of continuous learning and reflective practice that inspires staff to give their best in their roles.

If you’re up for the Challenge and want to help us achieve our vision, then we’d love to hear from you!

We are recruiting for Practice Supervisors in the following Services/Localities:

• Bradford East - currently based at Sir Henry Mitchell House
• Bradford South – currently based at Sir Henry Mitchell House
• Keighley and Shipley – based in Keighley Townhall.

About Us

Bradford Children and Families Trust was established in April 2023 to bring a step change in the quality and delivery of Children’s Services across our district.

Our purpose is clear - to ensure that our promise to improve the lives of children and young people in Bradford becomes a reality. It’s a tough ask. It requires dedication, determination, and resilience – but under our Chief Executive, Senior Leadership team and an unswerving drive to deliver the best outcomes, we are confident that we will achieve our ambition. Our Ofsted monitoring visits over the past 18 months, evidence that we are on the right trajectory and that significant improvements have been made and are being embedded. This means that the children and families we come in to contact with are having a better experience with the right support being offered at the right time. We are not sitting on our laurels and know that there is still a lot of work to do but there is a solid commitment to getting this right.

Working for the Bradford Children and Families Trust offers the opportunity to work with some great people who are passionate about delivering change in a city whose culture offers as much diversity as it’s geography. We cannot do this alone and have strong, collaborative working relationships with our partners. You can make a real difference to families and children and be an active part in delivering the service Bradford families should receive. Our workforce is unwavering in their pursuit to give the best possible services to those who need support.

We have invested in our services to ensure that we are the best we can be. We have and continue to invest in our Early Help services so that we are reaching as many people as possible who need support to prevent things escalating into statutory services; this includes the development of a Family Help Team who offer intensive support to families.

Families are the experts in their own lives and we need to listen to what they have to say; to that end, we have also invested in our voice and participation service to support children and families to have a voice in what happens next and our aspiration is that all our development is co-produced with those who need our support in their lives.

We are striving to ensure that we are a restorative and relational organisation and have been working with Leeds Relational Practice Centre for over 12 months, they will continue to work with us for the next 12 months, working with our leaders, managers and workforce so that we all have a shared understanding of what this means for children and families. We have invested in conferences and workshops led by Mark Finnis who is a renowned expert in this field.

Our ASYE academy is well established, and we have a high number of applicants who want to have the dedicated support the academy offers during the full 1 months of the ASYE programme; those who have gone through the academy have felt supported through dedicated practice educators, the learning and development offer and the experience of those delivering. We are committed to the ongoing development of all our workforce.

About the Role

The Practice Supervisor role is pivotal to our success. As the practice expert you will collaborate closely with the Principal Social Worker and the Learning and Development Service and your direct line management structure, to influence and support the delivery of excellent practice through the development and progression of our students, newly qualified social workers, and the wider workforce by demonstrating good practice, sharing knowledge and experience, offering guidance, support, mentoring and consultation.
